Mr. Kraut, Thank You Thank You !!!!!

I was very lucky to meet Kraut and his company. Previously, I was falsely charged with animal cruelty and was unsure who to go to. I fortunately met Mr. Kraut and he was able to fix and exceed my expectations and concerns. He was able to dismiss my case and proved me rightfully not guilty. I could no...t be more blessed to have been able to work with Mr. Kraut and be so relieved.

Best Criminal defense attorney ever!!

I was in trouble last summer, When I came to Mr. Kraut office he just told me don't worry I will get you out from this. And I can't describe how thankful am I to him, As he helped me to dismiss my misdemeanor ticket without booking. I can definitely advise him as a best attorney. He knows everything... about criminal defense. Don't hesitate, if you have problems just go directly to him and be patient he will do everything: trust your lawyer, If your lawyer is Mr. Kraut that means you are in good hands.

Public Intoxication Case

I am from out of state and was arrested for public intoxication in California. I found Michael off of the internet through sites such as AVVO. Right after our first call Michael pushed for me to hire him due to his connections from him being a former DA and his confidence in his ability to get my cas...e dismissed. Michael was immediately concerned about my case due to the fact that it could effect my job as well as my professional license. Michael did not hold me hand through the process and was very straight to the point--a good trait to have as a defense lawyer. Michael made contact and provided updates when new information was available. Although Michael was more expensive than the other options we saw online--I decided to hire him due to his confidence in getting my case dismissed before the court date and his concern over my professional license. Ultimately, Michael was able to get my case dismissed before charges were even filed and I could not be happier!
